Nixie Tube Clocks and the Nixie
Wristwatch

Decades ago, Nixie Tubes
were used
as indicating devices in many types of
instrumentation, and ultimately
replaced by the cheaper
-unattractive- LED display.Having been obsolete for
nearly a half
century, these glowing bottles of ionized
gases have attracted another
generation that appreciate their simple
beauty.

My approach to Nixie Clock design began at the
packaging. All
examples are influenced by mid-century industrial
design.
GPS Satellite receivers are the primary timing
reference source,
delivering the highest time keeping precision
available.

Clocks. Great examples of custom nixie
clocks.

Clockwork
Orange" building the NixiSat clock as a kit of parts.

It appears just about anyone who can swing a
soldering iron has been
marketing their nixie projects through an online
auction site.
Beware of any nixie clocks or other gizmos that are
directly line
voltage powered. If it uses a low voltage wall
adapter for
power
it would indicate the line is isolated for
safety. Always do some
research before you buy someone's project. It could
be total junk.
And they have all visited here, using these nixie
clocks as the
benchmark for menu structure, features, and
enclosure design ideas.
